    We expected the team to be bad, we didn't expect it to be bad to the point where Fields was providing historically low production (relative to the modern era). Or at least I didn't. I expected to see more flashes than we've seen even with the lack of talent. I expected him to occasionally have a 200 yard passing game, especially with positive game scripts and a productive run game that defenses have to give attention to. I didn't expect him to be good though. Maybe I was expecting too much to think he might play good enough to just look like a normal bad QB, not one the rest of the NFL world was laughing at.

    He had a higher QB Rating today than any game in Justin Fields' career. Also QB Rating sucks I know, but its funny how some emergency 3rd string QB can come in and lead a somewhat effective offense. Didn't watch the game, I'm guessing the Patriots actually, like, you know tried at the passing game? Not, all scared of our own shadow deer in the headlight Getsy and Eberflus? I guess. Zappe was 10-15 for 99 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT in just over 3 quarters of play. Nothing crazy, but those are Fields-like numbers with a better completion percentage and 0 turnovers

    This seems shocking to me. Wisconsin is bad, and they had a downish season last year (though they recovered really nicely from a slow start) but I didn’t think he was particularly close to the hot seat just yet.

    Because I’m a bears fan for better or worse and I’d like to understand if Fields (or the team in general) is improving or not improving. Doesn’t seem all that crazy To be clear *im* not watching tape because I know horsefeathers all about tape watching. I will be surfing Twitter to let other people tell me I get the pageantry but dude, why do it to yourself? Because sports helps get me through the week and I’m certainly not ready to read about the Bulls or Blackhawks. Fan however you want to fan lol

    We used to track touchdownless halves under Nagy/Pace and I think the grand total was somewhere around 40% of Nagy’s halves ended without a TD So far this year the Bears have gone touchdownless in 4 of their 8 halves this year

    Agree with much of this. For the 1-on-1 man thing I wonder if this is where not having a dependable veteran receiver hurts him. He doesn’t feel comfortable throwing those “go up and get it” types of passes that you see other QBs throw to their trusted WRs. This is not absolving him of things, just a possible area where addressing WR more in the offseason could have helped him.

    1) its probably all of those reasons 2) why would any of it be intersting? Because I’m a bears fan for better or worse and I’d like to understand if Fields (or the team in general) is improving or not improving.

    Bears called 35 passing plays vs 25 rushing plays. Fields got off 22 passes, scrambled 7 times and was sacked 6 times. Interested to see the tape to see how much is bad o-line play, how much is indecisiveness from fields, how much is receivers not getting open and how much is bad play design/play calling
  10. UMFan83
    Right. This is kind of why I’m disappointed they won the 2 games they won. If the Bears were 1-3 or 0-4 the Bears would say horsefeathers it we have to see what we have here. But at 2-2 they’re gonna continue to try to win ugly ass games

    Velus i don't think ran any routes but as a kick returner he had one decent return, bobbled one catch and then muffed a kick that led to the Bears losing the game. Kyler Gordon continues to be bad in the most obvious ways but I still have faith that he'll develop Bisker got burned once that I could see but played solid and had at least 1 nice TFL Ebner is sub-JAG level player so far, brought nothing to the table Not sure how Braxton Jones did today but the pass blocking was terrible as a line today so I have to guess he probably did poorly. Overall not a great day for Poles' first draft class though I continue to have hope for several of them.

    And thus ends the last time the Bears will be over .500 until like 2026
  13. UMFan83
    For a second I legit thought they had something
  14. UMFan83
    Wtf, the giants are in prevent and we still can’t find someone open?
  15. UMFan83
    This team is a complete disaster
  16. UMFan83
    When Mooney said Getsy was only going to be here 2 years I didn’t think he meant because he’ll be fired.
  17. UMFan83
    Bears went from 13:06 in the 3rd to 4:14 of the 4th without a positive passing play. The positive passing play was for 2 yards on 2nd and 4
  18. UMFan83
    We don't have a quarterback either. Siemien is on the bench
  19. UMFan83
    The Giants have literally lost about 8 starters over the course of this game and they’re still going to win most likely
  20. UMFan83
    Close enough. What a terrible offense
  21. UMFan83
    Yay for the INT but starting at the 5 means run run run, punt and good field position for the Giants
  22. UMFan83
    Horrific series for Gordon wow
  23. UMFan83
    His PR team was amazing selling this whole “rehabilitation year” with the Bills. Didn’t play at all, let Nagy destroy another QB, then got an actual contract to start.
  24. UMFan83
    Adjustments!
  25. UMFan83
    What the heck is that play call on 3rd and long in the red zone
